  1. ^What's that thing going to hold, like 12 administrators' offices?
  2. Dirt is moving on this project. It's also moving on at least two other developments in the (large) vicinity. This area has an enormous amount of land close to the city that is ripe for development. Unfortunately it doesn't seem there will be much good urbanism as a part of the projects in the near future. Yes you will be able to walk to other houses but for anything else you will need a car.

    It's more about keeping up the divide in any way possible for the Russians.
  4. I can picture the methy inner parts losing people due to lack of job choices but Orlando and especially Miami have a future. Miami is such an aspirational city for much of the rest of the country. Moving to Zephyrhills on the other hand isn't going to pay off.

    ^I get the feeling that the manosphere podcast business is a lot of Russian interference.
  6. Sounds like they were doing people a real disservice by moving it all the way up there from Clintonville. I guess I can understand doing that in say the 1950s.
  7. I bet that was an interurban rail trip for most people. Those things could hit a sketchy 100mph.
  8. I don't get why they had to shut that one down. Yeah it didn't have a drive-thru and I know that is verboten in fast food today. Even if it wasn't profitable you can't even keep it open for fun?
  9. If it never had auto repair that helps because in the old days people just dumped old oil in the ground.
  10. I have literally never been to the zoo because of that. Used to go to The Beach instead of Wyandot Lake since it only took 20 minutes more. And it was better at the time.
  11. Outside of peak I can get Downtown in 12-15 minutes from Groveport.
  12. ^Now that would be honoring the area's Appalachian heritage. A drive through gas station with Hunt Brothers Pizza and a Chester's
  13. You hope it at least got something approaching market rate. It looks like the house was disused for a while or someone that couldn't maintain it lived there.

    It could even lead to more rich people renting downtown properties without living in them as a primary residence since it's done with itemized deductions.

    They say it's due to donations but I'm not sure that's fully funding it. WV has offered the Promise scholarship for decades for students which offers up to $5500 a year for 3.0+ students. It used to pay full tuition at WVU and Marshall but now does the $5,500 for a longer list of schools. https://www.cfwv.com/financial-aid/promise-scholarship/
  16. On Saturday night everyone thought OSU's season was completely over haha
  17. There is an entire segment of the marketing profession revolving around getting young people to take shifty ("shifty" -- yeah that's the ticket) jobs.
  18. COGO (operated by Lyft) is out for bike and scooter share at the first of the year to be replaced by Veo. Veo has a wider variety of rides and will be in a direct contract with the city so that the city can perform more operational tasks such as returning bikes and scooters to stations. Video link set to start when the Veo discussion begins:
  19. It would be tough for mortgage debt to do a 2008 under current housing supply constraints.

    Shawnee State is now free tuition for any student with a 3.0 in high school from within two counties away including Kentucky.

    I feel like a lot of those little expensive schools -- believe it or not -- attracted a lot of first-generation students. Not the "Safety Schools" but the garden-variety ones. Some of those parents knew so little about higher education that they thought those schools were like buying a luxury car and that they had to be better than "Chevrolet Ohio State" and "Ford Michigan". Then between the the parents' bad personal network, the kid's high school network and the college's tiny town their degree would slide off of the graduate like they were covered in Teflon. Back at home with Mom and Dad they wouldn't find work that suited their degree that cost 4-5X than one from a state school or they had to move so far away to actually use it they would only ever see them once every few years. A couple decades of this and people started nope-ing out of those kind of schools.
  22. With such a large portion of business going private equity the Columbus office gets the axe. We're don't have a lot of private equity firms based here.
  23. You can report that to Bike Lane Uprising. If it happens enough the city can be notified with the data showing them how many times it's happened which is more ammo than just a call to 311 that "it happened again". Especially when it's almost certainly a business doing it. https://www.bikelaneuprising.com/columbus
